CVE-2014-3041
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in IBM Emptoris Contract Management 9.5.x before 9.5.0.6 iFix 10, 10.0.0.x before 10.0.0.1 iFix 10, 10.0.1.x before 10.0.1.4, and 10.0.2.x before 10.0.2.2 iFix 2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Emptoris Contract Management is presentCheck for IBM Emptoris installation directories or running services named 'Emptoris' or 'Contract Management' on the systemAffected if The product is not installed or not present in the environment
-
Determine installed versionLocate and read the version metadata file or check the application administration console for the exact version number of Emptoris Contract ManagementAffected if The version falls within the affected ranges: 9.5.0.0 through 9.5.0.5, 10.0.0.0, 10.0.0.1, 10.0.1.0 through 10.0.1.3, or 10.0.2.0 through 10.0.2.1
-
Confirm authentication is enabledVerify that user authentication is required and active for the application, as this SQL injection requires authenticated remote user accessAffected if Authentication is disabled or the application allows unauthenticated access (less likely but would increase severity)
Your environment is affected if IBM Emptoris Contract Management is installed AND the version matches any of the affected ranges listed AND user authentication is required for access.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the appropriate IBM iFix patches for the specific version in use (9.5.0.6 iFix 10, 10.0.0.1 iFix 10, 10.0.1.4, or 10.0.2.2 iFix 2) to remediate the SQL injection vulnerability.
